CLOTHESPIN CARRIER.

Application filed April 5, 1922.

To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that I, JENNIE R. MCMATH, a citizen of the United States,residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State ofCalifornia, have invented a certain new and useful Clothespin Carrier,of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a clothespin carrier, particularly to a meansfor carrying the pins while hanging the clothes on or removing the samefrom the line and the objects of my invention are: first, to provide adevice of this class by which the person hanging up clothes on orremoving clothes from the line does not have to stoop, bend over orreach down to get the pins for securing the clothes to the line or toreplace the pins in the receptacle when removing the same from the line;second, to provide a device of this class in which it is not necessaryfor the user of this device to hold a number of pins in the mouth or inthe hand, thus reducing to a minimum the usual inefficiency or thedropping of clothes; third, to provide a device of this class which isalways in close proximity to the person hanging up clothes and which canreadily be shifted along as desired; fourth, to provide a device of thisclass which will free the user thereof from lugging unnecessary weightaround on the body; fifth, to provide a device of this class which isconveniently supported by the clothesline at the place needed; sixth, toprovide a carrier of this class in which the receptacle thereof mayreadily be removed from its support for cleansing or washing the same;seventh, to provide a novelly constructed pin carrier, and eighth, toprovide a device of this class which is very simple and economical ofconstruction, durable, efficient and which will not readily deteriorateor get out of order.

With these and other objects in View as will appear hereinafter myinvention consists of certain novel features of construction,combination and arrangement of parts and portions as will be hereinafterdescribed in detail and particularly set forth in the appended claimsreference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the charactersof reference thereon which form a part of this application in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my clothespin carrier suspended from aclothesline; Fig. 2 is a front view thereof looking into the opening ofthe same and Fig. 3 is Serial No. 549,758.

'a perspective view of the supporting ring of my device.

Like characters of reference refer to similar parts and portionsthroughout the several views of the drawings.

The ring 1, and the receptacle 2 con-stitute the principal parts andportions of my clothespin carrier.

The ring 1 is preferably circular in shape provided with an open hook Iat right angles to the plane of the ring and opening outwardly therefromadapted to support said ring on a clothesline and the like. Said ring isalso provided with another open hook 1 as part of the ring and adaptedto hook around the base portion of the first mentioned hook 1 Thereceptacle 2 is preferably made of some flexible fabric material in theshape of a bag, preferably as shown, with an opening 2 at one endthereof. A headin 2 adapted to receive the ring portion of the ringmember 1 is provided at the opening of the receptacle and is formed byturning over the end of the material surrounding the opening andstitching the same to the other portion of the receptacle. There isprovided in the heading of said receptacle an opening 2 at one sidethereof so that the ring member, when unhooked, may be easily insertedthrough said heading and again hooked together after being passed aroundor through the heading. Thus a means is provided whereby the receptaclemay be conveniently removed and replaced on said ring.

My clothespin carrier is so shaped and suspended that the clothespinstherein will not fall out of the receptacle thereof and will permit easyand convenient access to the pins at all times.

Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combinationand arrangement of parts and portions I do not wish to be limited tothis particular construction, combination and arrangement but openingand a detachable ring in said heading provided with supporting means andhook means to connect the ends 01 said ring. In testimony whereof, Ihave hereunto set my hand at San Diego, California, this 29th day ofMarch, 1922.

JENNIE R. MoMATI-l.
